FINAL CHAPTER OF THE ANDROID IS LIVE

It’s been a long time coming. I started posting this back in March, but the story itself has been with me since 2023. It’s been my constant project, my problem child, my favorite thing I’ve ever written. Finishing it feels surreal. Both pride and sadness.

This story stuck with me through writer’s block, through burnout, through everything. Even when I couldn’t write, it lived in the back of my mind. Finally getting to the end means a lot.

At some point, I’m going to do a little behind-the-scenes deep dive on all the threads, foreshadowing, and all the work that went into it (similar to what I did for Filing Off the Serial Numbers) because there’s so much layered into this one. It’s dark and messy and full of meaning, and I’m really proud of how it turned out.

If you’ve been reading along, thank you. And if you haven’t yet, I hope you’ll give it a chance.

Title of fic: Fragments of a Digital Dream

Author: @whatifiwasrosie

Artist: @girlsvmonsters

Pairing: Castiel/Dean Winchester

Summary: It’s somewhere in the future, where cars fly and androids walk like people do. Dean has his own slice of heaven carved out for himself— a simple mechanic shop that’s survived the tech revolution of the new world. What he hadn’t expected, however, was a little android to walk through those doors with a false excuse to see him. And then keep coming back to see him. Castiel, a SERAPHIM bot. Or Dean’s new infatuation. Or both.

Summary:

Welcome to the city of Detroit, Michigan in the year 2222.

Once the home to the industrial age, the city is now the home to android creation. Androids' role in human society is as helpers and standard workers. The human-like machines are monitored and controlled by their creator... until something changes. They start to feel as humans do, leading them to react like humans.

When this happens they are marked as deviant and the law calls in Commander Castiel. As Commander of the Garrison, it is Castiel's job to bring down those droids with human feelings who are considered to be uncontrolled deviants of the city to maintain the status quo.

What happens when Castiel is sent on a mission to find an android the entire city refers to as the Hunter. A fantom android that is believed to be the rebel leader of a group of humans and deviants fighting for android civil rights.

Warm up sketches. I feel rusty. Too much work, too little time to do silly fanart :’)

And another Ko-Fi Ilustration, this time based on a pompt by @soluscheese who asked for Cas in Connor’s clothes. :D

I haven’t played the game so I know very little about it but it was fun to do anyway~
